All Partner Conference - highlights

December 8, 2023

Thank you to all the Partners who joined us for our first All Partner Conference on Friday 24th November.

Testament to the power of partnership, Dipesh J Shah OBE said, “there was a real buzz and excitement in the room; creativity and people full of ideas, intellectual rigour, and a real desire to participate in a collaborative and partnership way.”

The conference was a spring board for our work programme. We’ll be sharing updates and more opportunities to get involved indifferent pan-Regional Partnership task and finish groups as our shared programme progresses.
